“I woke up today a song was swim­ming in my head
And I hummed it to myself as I got out of bed
And on the way to take a shower it all just dawned on me
That a song like this just might go down in his­tory
I quickly ran back to get my gui­tar
A pen and some paper

‘Cause this whole world needs an Anthem
And I’m try­ing to put the words where they belong
Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem
And I’m hop­ing every­one will sing along

Well I quickly got to work and put the song in gear
And my neigh­bor rang the door­bell said it caught his ear
I was play­ing it so loud the whole neigh­bor­hood could hear
And at night from every house­hold it became quite clear
Every­one was just singing along
The same notes the same song
Or maybe I heard it wrong

‘Cause this whole world needs an Anthem
And I’m try­ing to put the words where they belong
Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem
And I’m hop­ing every­one will sing along.

– Phan­tom Planet, Anthem ; Album: Guest
